Freezing hands

hello, I had to visit the National Museum of the US Air Force as part of a class project out in Dayton. I was also excited to see the KC10 they put on display there which is a fairly recent addition, only joining the museum collection in April of 2024.

I was hoping for good weather, and my prayers were answered mostly. It was sunny, but the tradeoff is it was 23F and winds gusting to 25kts. And here’s some random college student walking around outside with a camera trying to take photos. The museum was really neat and I definitely recommend.

On my way home though, for some reason, I ended up at CMH 👍


the only photo lll post from the museum. i couldn’t feel my hands


after being buzzed by a c17 whilst driving down a sideroad, i found the nearest parking lot and hoped it would come around again. spoiler: it did.


and if I hadn’t already done enough for the day, i decided to try night spotting.

Im still relatively novice at this so please go easy. Still messing around with settings and shutter speeds


average 737


1/8th sec handheld, not terrible.

this was this guys second pushback. I didn’t realize it but he pushed initially, went and did the whole de-ice process, lined up on the runway, and then taxied back to the gate. I don’t believe it was a MX issue considering how fast the turnaround was. My guess was a pax issue where they just had to deplane one person and then continued on their way.


eagle retro rahhh


you were the reason i ended up out here 😐

QQ: looking for a really good quality lens that can zoom in really close for a canon EOS 60D. What is a good priced one?

to be completely honest i am not the right guy to ask
i would recommend asking one of the more experienced camera people like Andrew or Altaria

Why has that Gulfstream got its reverse thrusters on?

They use reverse thrust instead at times so that the brakes don’t heat up.

That’s actually super crazy that you can see everything that’s happening inside that Gulfstream 💀…

I love seeing Maryland One because it literally followed me earlier this year. I saw it in LA, then again in Las Vegas the same day! Even crazier, I saw it the next day in Wichita then AGAIN the next day at Chicago Midway. It was literally following me… (dont ask why i was traveling so much).

What’s your budget?

anything under like $500

Hmm ok, you could get a 55-250 for that price, it’s around $250.

But if you’re looking for pre owned lenses and stuff, look at mpb.com

how far of zoom is that
